Thank you for responding, Griff.

Unfortunately, no.  I've grown hundreds of rebloomers, including many 
"cold-climate" rebloomers, but in the past 12 yrs, I've only had six 
rebloom (What Again, Low Ho Silver, Faux Pas, Champagne Elegance, Sugar 
Blues, Lilting).  Of those six, only one has rebloomed more than once 
(two separate years - that was Lilting), and two died shortly after the 
one time they did rebloom (Faux Pas and Champagne Elegance).

I have mentioned rebloomers in my "Irises 101" talks, but I have spoken 
of them primarily in terms of potential future developments in irises, 
not as something currently widely available to us here in northern MN.
